DANTE LEVEL 2 TEST PAPER EXAMS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS 2025/2026
✔✔A broadcast network transmission: - ✔✔transmits from one to everyone on the
network
✔✔Quality of Service (QoS) allows some traffic to be prioritized over others. When
would be a good time to consider engaging QoS? (Select all that apply) - ✔✔When we
have traffic on a converged network, so there is something to de-prioritize.
Whenever 100 Mbps Dante devices are on the network.
When ports begin to approach saturation, say around 60%-80%.
✔✔When configuring IGMP Snooping, how many switches should be IGMP Querier(s)?
- ✔✔One - there can be only one
✔✔Suppose a switch has 8 queues on it. Which queue number would typically have the
highest priority? - ✔✔8
✔✔A network that carries multiple, possibly unrelated data types (like internet, VoIP,
Dante, etc.) is: - ✔✔called a converged network.
✔✔Suppose a Dante device has one channel and two transmit flows. Can it connect to
three different receiving devices? - ✔✔Yes. the channel must be set as multicast.
✔✔A unicast subscription is made between two Dante devices.
The latency value of the transmitter and receiver are 0.25msec and 0.5msec,
respectively.
What is the resulting latency of this stream? - ✔✔0.5msec
✔✔What protocol does Dante use for clocking? - ✔✔PTP
✔✔Can a Dante network with five switch hops support latency of 1msec? - ✔✔Yes.
Minimum recommended latency could be as low as 0.5msec.
✔✔What advantages does unicast have over multicast communication? (Select 3.) -
✔✔Unicast is simpler to deliver, reducing the strain on the switch.
Unicast can cross a router, Multicast cannot.
Unicast can achieve lower latency than Multicast. (Minimum latency for multicast is
1msec.)
✔✔Which Dante software supports redundant connections? - ✔✔Dante Controller
